Nadya Slocum was hit by a Jackson Public Schools bus Nov. 16 in the 5000 block of Redmond Avenue. She had gotten off another school bus and was walking away when the second bus pulled around the first and hit her, authorities said.

"My foot got ran over by a bus, and then my Uncle Cliff just picked me up, and he sat me in the chair, and the ambulance came to get me," Slocum said Monday.

Slocum underwent surgery, but doctors were not able to save her foot, authorities said. The Walton Elementary School student was released from Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children on Monday afternoon.

Now she wears a hot pink cast.

"I signed my name. KK signed her name. Sierra signed her name. Everyone just put a heart on it," she said.

Jackson police have not filed any charges in the case. JPS officials expect to complete their investigation before the end of the week, at which time it will be determined whether any action should be taken against either bus driver.

The girl's mother, Natasha Slocum, said someone should be held accountable for the safety of the students.

"I hate to see someone get fired, but you know, you really do need to be fired because safety comes first, and hopefully they get the other bus drivers, make sure they follow they rules and they do they job," she said.

Slocum said she did not think that her daughter was really aware of what happened.

"Not yet. I guess it won't hit her until the cast comes off, so we just waiting on judgment day, as I say," she said.
